I hate watching cooking shows. They make me hungry as hell, and then i just end up raiding the fridge for goodies

Holiday destination sounds fun Katt - all inclusive can be a killer though. I remember when we went to Greece back in October, it was my first time on an all inclusive holiday, i had to keep reminding myself that i didn't actually have to eat everything in sight. Christ, i think i put on 8lb in that one week alone.

The main problem was Goats Cheese, i have to say

We did the all-in thing for our honeymoon in Jamaica. I fell in love with the mango daiquiris on day 2. Don't remember much after that.


Posted by: katt

Yeah I read samples of the menu at the two places we are going to stay.. curried lobster, goat cheese, conch, and it just went on and on.... I'm excited to try some of the "real" local food there... plus the second place we are staying the restaurant always has 2 for 1's and 3 for 1's in the bar & restaurant... I'd better diet down really well.....

Mmmm, yummy. What's conch?

Great pulldowns - don't you just love new equipment? Except when your weights have to be readjusted because they've went down on the new machines


Posted by: Gazhole

Session looks good! A change is good anyways, keeps things interesting.


Posted by: katt

I forgot to log in that we did cardio last night also - I was intending to jog/run for 45 minutes, until I started breathing too hard, so it was more of a walk/jog... lol

Sam - Conch is a shellfish, the one that is in those very large shells that you hold up to your ear and hear the sea?? I really don't know what they look like, I've never seen one out of the shell...

And our new equipment was up, but missing all the cables.. but it looks so awesome, new and shiny!

Gaz - thanks - we are due for a change..


Posted by: SamEaston

Eww, i hate seafood Except when it's battered, deep fried and served with fries that is

Katt, you're always saying you hate cardio. Im not surprised when you do marathon sessions of 45 minutes. Couldn't you just do a 15 minute HIIT session and get it over and done with??

Yeah I seem to be stuck on the 45 minute number. The thing is, once I get going I really like running.... I'm just concerned if I do it too much that my leg muscle will suffer. But, yeah the HIIT would be a great idea, huh? I usually just do the incline treadmill..

Can you really benefit from only 15 minutes???


Posted by: SamEaston

If the intensity is high enough then yeah.

Like today and yesterday for example, i did only 10 minutes of cardio because i didn't have much time, but my heart rate was over 90% of my max for most of the time. I thought my heart was going to pop, im telling you, but cardio at a really high intensity is supposed to raise your metabolism so much that it keeps running at a higher rate thoughout the day, much more so than lower intensity/long duration cardio.

Only thing to do is give it a try. Best not to do it in the evening though because i find it stops me getting to sleep. Probably due to the increased basal heart rate.

Change of plans.... I am just going to start with Anavar in a couple weeks and clean up my diet, that should work to get rid of the extra bodyfat I have and retain my muscle mass.. It's just so darn expensive and we have been putting almost everything into the house remodel, so I guess you have to choose sometimes.

What's anvar? And how good is it for recomp?

Oxandrolone, it's kind of a "fat burning" steriod.. not very toxic, not very androgenic, and when I was on it before when I did the anavar/primo cycle, I really liked how "lean" I looked - virtually no water gain at all. So I thought I might just give it a shot by itself this time.

Sounds good. Do you need PCT and all that jazz with it?

Take it that it's illegal?

I think guys need to take Nolvadex for PCT or during the cycle don't they?? I can't remember.

I had nearly no sides the last time - crazy. I think it was the Primo that gave me the increased libido...my voice felt a little "different" but nothing noticeable, and absolutely not doms at all, no matter how hard I trained. We couldn't do any pre-workout drinks because the pumps after training would be pretty painful... I'll be curious to see how this works alone... I'll keep you posted

Sounds good. Will keep an eye out of curiosity, i don't have the contacts or will to do steroids myself, but i'll look in with interest.


Posted by: SamEaston

That sounds cool Katt! I remember when you did it last time, you were working hard and lifting crazy weights but no DOMS. Man i was jealous!

Actually, there was this programme on TV the other night and they were reviewing fat loss pills, not that i take any but i thought it might be interesting to watch. Well, it might have been if they had given an unbiased view of everything but they had this 'specialist' on and he said that anything you can buy off the shelves is perfectly safe to take because the active ingredients are present in such low concentrations, which also means they are a waste of money. But then they were looking into Ephidrene and basically made this big song and dance about it being so bad for you and it's so stupid to take it. He just kept saying 'You'll have a heart attack and die' over and over again. I was shitting myself the first time, but when i realised they hadn't actually done any testing of it i stopped listening.

I reckon Eph is about the strongest thing i'll ever do. Im just too much of a wimp!


Posted by: katt

Yeah,, Eph is supposed to be really bad for your heart. I remember when my doc gave me a HUGE lecture about the things that can happen with it... it scared the shit out of me!

We were looking into Clen also to take, but that one scared me when I started reading it... elevated body temp, high blood pressure, etc etc...


Posted by: katt

Last night was cardio - incline tread for 45 minutes...

This mornings workout - what can I say.. I had good intentions, but after the second exercise I started getting really nauseous.. I don't know why. And my strength went down the shit hole.

BB Military Press (70) 1x6 (75) 1x6 (80) 1x4

Arnold Press (30) 1x6 (35) 1x5, 1x4

Upright Rows (60) 1x6 (70) 1x6 (75) 1x3

Front Raises (20) 1x6 (22.5) 1x6 (25) 1x6

Tomorrow will be better....

Yeah,,,,, you know the funny thing,,, I don't even like chocolate that much, but last night I think the sugar coma took over....I don't remember a thing...

I believe if I were to estimate....hmmm 10/80/10 split yesterday lol

LOL well done Katt. I know what you mean once you carb up its hard to stop impulsively eating.

Posted by: Brutus_G

I love ECA and hate that shit at the same time. It will get you so lean super fast. You cant eat or sit down for long when you take it. The things i hate is how high my blood pressure gets and how quickly you gain back the fat you lost while taking it. It also causes me to get depressed when i come off of it. Another thing i love about it is it improves concentration and makes you stronger since it stimulates your CNS.

No we've never done maxes on anything... might be interesting to find out


Posted by: the other half

i think before our next leg day we will have spaghetti and french bread and then go in and do maxes on squats and deads. how much fun would that be.

she will have a blast spotting me.


Posted by: Scarface30

super job in here katt, nothing short of some great workouts

hopefully that annoying cold soon is gone. sometimes they stick around forever, makes you wonder if there is anything you can do to get rid of it. my sister just fought one off she had for 3 weeks or so, luckily I didn't catch it!

Yeah it would. The only things im interested in maxing out on are deads and squats, but im just too scared to try a 1RM. What if i do myself an injury? I've done a 2RM, but then got scared and did the same weight again for another 2. Chickenshit


Posted by: katt

Today we switched things up push/pull/legs with an extra day for shoulders & abs

DB Flat Bench (35) 1x10 (40) 1x8 (45) 1x6

Dips - 1, then failed ....lol

haha this workout was funny,, with all the new machines, the weights were way lower, because of the pulley system??? I really don't know, but it made both of us feel like real weenies today. Then I couldn't even do dips after..

New workout, new weights,,, new goals... lol

A 1 RM on DL is not a problem. You either lift the bar or you don't. Squats are a different matter. I would attempt a squat 1 RM only in a power cage.

Cardio last night & tonight .. 45 minutes last night - 48 minutes tonight..


Posted by: katt

ok, so last night I'm totally awake and make myself try to sleep at 11:00.. the alarm went off way too early this morning.. I had to force myself to roll out of bed.. lol

Pull ups 1x2, 3x2 (negatives) I quit doing these for 8 weeks and now I can only do a set of 2 before I poop out????

One Arm DB Rows
(40) 1x10 (45) 1x0 (50) 1x10

Rack Pulls
(135) 1x6 (155) 1x5 (185) 1x4

Shrugs (90) 1x10 (110) 1x10 (140) 1x8

Standing DB Hammer Curl
(25) 1x10 (27.5) 1x10 (30) 1x6

1 arm Preacher over the incline bench
(20) 1x10 (22.5) 1x10 (25) 1x8

ok, so I need to get used to the 8-10 range.. get used to the burn again.. maybe the next one should be 15-20's...

Calories yesterday were around 1480ish.. Today there are 1582 and I'm trying to get as close to the 50/30/20 that I can..

I hate it when that happens. Just lying there, realizing that sleep time is getting shorter and wake up time is not going to change.


Posted by: Brutus_G

Thats what happened to me on my pullups it just got weaker and everything else got stronger.

I usually look at the clock every 30 minutes or so, realizing just how little sleep I will get.

I had insomnia in college occasionally and know a few tricks to get through it. The best I've found is to count backwards from 7 million. Since your brain can only really handle 7 things at once, keeping all the digits straight ties it up and shuts it down. Eventually.


Posted by: soxmuscle

I like those DB rows. 50 el bees for ten reps is solid.

As far as the whole sleeping thing goes... I'm on the same page. If it's not pot or alcohol induced, I can't fall asleep.

50/30/20 eh? I'm aiming for 40/40/20, most of my carbs come from yogurt, fruit, and veggies

Yeah, it worked really well last time, I got super lean when my protein levels are higher.. I just have to stick to it - I'm down a couple pounds already. YAY!


Posted by: katt

Thanks everyone on your comments on the sleep issue... I guess it's pretty common.

Py - yeah,,, that's the funny thing,, can't sleep - look at the clock, try again,,, look at the clock....lol

Sox - you need to get off that shit.... lol The rows went well, I'm keeping my form really strict now..

TT - yeah it sucks

Brutus - totally aggravating!! You're at one level, you quit for a bit and your back to square one... almost.. that must be that "two steps forward and one step back theory" ..


Posted by: katt

No workout today YAY!!! Tomorrow will come soon enough.. Diet is going well so far.. feeling full all the time, but the weight is dropping.

I signed up for my first spinning class tomorrow night.. I've always been really intimidated by that class. Wondering if that will be good or bad for the leg muscles I'm desperately trying to build up...


Posted by: Pylon

Spinning is brutal, but in a good way. Enjoy!

Tell me about it, katt.

Spinning class - my uncle does it all the time and everything is great from what he says, except I don't really like how long it goes. Pushing yourself over the edge for an hour is some intense freakin' cardio...

lol - I just started to be diligent about it this last week...lol... it's funny, because for me to really stick to a diet I have to write every day's worth of food down, break it down by macros..etc... lol it's anal, but it's the only way for me to keep on track.. I really look forward to that cheat meal, let me tell ya..

I'm thinking probably 8-12 weeks worth maybe.. ughh

Maybe 10 or so lbs.. I'll have to see how I look as I go along.

I know that's not alot but I really really like that look when you have the striations in your muscles (for me 15-16% or close).. and it's not healthy to be that low all the time, but that's what I am trying to achieve before June when we head to Jamaica for our anniversary trip.. it's the whole "how I look in a bikini" self confidence thang..

oh, and the ability to eat while I'm there and not worry about it..

Tonight was spinning.. my ass doesn't hurt too bad, but it was hard!! Not my ass - the class. lol

I definitely liked it though,, I'm going again - once I get used to all the movements, it will be more brutal.

ok so we slept in this morning and did our workout after I got off work..

This is why I don't like to work out in the evening here.. rude people!! Some peoples gym ethics suck shit!! At one point, when I was doing the seated lateral raises, I had to stop because some fucking jerkoff walked by so close to me that if I would have kept going I would have totally taken out his nuts.. then, on the other hand, maybe I should have.

DB Press (30) 1x10 (32.5) 1x8 (35) 1x8

BB Front Raise (30) 1x10 (32.5) 1x10 (35) 1x8

Seated DB Side Laterals (10) 1x10 (12.5) 1x8 (15) 1x5

Reverse Pec Deck (40) 1x10 (50) 1x10 (55) 1x8

Short workout, only took just under 30 minutes and I was sooooo ready to get the hell out of there... I am never sleeping in on workout days again!!! Not if I have to deal with this shit.

Ok, I'm over it now... tomorrow is legs!!! Woot Woot


Posted by: Pylon

If anyone gets in my range of motion during lifting, I make a point to stick them with the weight. It is the only way they learn.

Haha, now I know NEVER to cross katt in the gym. Evenings are the best energy wise, but mornings have the advantage of being deserted.

Still, great job fitting that in under 30 mins.


Posted by: yellowmoomba

You should have hit him in the nuts. haha

That would have been funny !! He would have learned a lesson.




Posted by: Scarface30

you would have taught him a lesson that he would have never forgotten, that's for sure!

good job though, fitting it all into 30 minutes, must have been flying!

I've seen video of Adam Archuleta (former Rams player) doing his college workout. He would lie on his stomach with his trainer holding his legs. He would raise straight up on his knees from that position using just his legs. Yikes.

Hopefully the Bears cut him and the Patriots pick him up.

He's a very mediocre player, but the way he trains makes him a-okay in my book.

Dips..uhhh 3.... then I did a couple negatives..

Pushups -9 just because the OH wanted to do these.

All in all it went well, my diet was not good yesterday, but I'm on track again today.. lol


Posted by: b_reed23

I love doing pushups...may add them in to this weeks workout...it's been a while since I've done them

meant to ask you...do you keep track of your macros on Fitday?? do you have a link to it that I could look at, or could you give us an example of what you eat every day?? Thanks!!

I don't use fitday really, I have a journal that I write everything in.

I really need to re-vamp my calories, because I am not eating anything before I head to the gym at 5 - which is not the best...

Meal 1 - 6 egg whites, 1 yolk - 1/2 cups oats
Meal 2 - chicken 4 oz, 1 cup veges
Meal 3 - protein again (4 oz) sesame oil, 1/2 c rice, 1 c veges
Meal 4 - same as Meal 2 or I sub a shake sometimes
Meal 5 - 2 cups lettuce or spinach, 6 oz tuna or chicken, 2 tbs dressing

My meals 1 & 5 never change, they are always the same. I eat at least 4 oz of protein at each meal, or 1 full can of tuna.. I up my carbs a couple days a week sometimes, I'll throw yams in there with Meal 2 & 4

That's about it, boring, predictable, but it works for me..

Thanks JH. No, I don't usually season it when I cook - I put low-sodium soy, lemon pepper, mrs dash or other dry seasons on it after.

Posted by: katt

ok - so I have got to get out of the mind frame that when I go to the gym my weights are going to increase... because, excuse me, but it totally fucks with me when I can't do as well as I did on the last workout.. I am dieting and I have to just deal with what I can do when I get there.

Pull ups
bw x 2, 3 sets of neg 3's

One Arm DB Rows
(45) 1x10 (50) 1x10 (55) 1x8

Rack Pulls (135) 1x6 (185) failed (155) 1x6 (185) 1x4

Shrugs (110) 1x10 (140) 1x10 (160) 1x8/2

Hammer Curls (25) 1x10 (27.5) 1x8 (30) 1x6

Preacher Curls (20) 1x10 (22.5) 1x10

ok, so on the Rack Pulls, I took the bar off the rack, lowered it and couldn't get it back up.. my stance was too narrow.. so I lowered the weight and got it on the last set.

On the Shrugs I had to put the bar down after the 8th rep, because my grip was going, then immediately picked it back up for the last 2.

By the time I got to the curls, my wrists and grip were suffering.... bad... and on the second set of preacher's I could barely keep my left wrist straight at all.. it was like a wet noodle..

We're thinking of breaking up the Rack Pulls and Shrugs - and putting the Shrugs in our Thursday wo instead w/shoulders.

Cals today are just a tad under 1600.. I'm upping my spinning classes to Thurs night & Sat morning, then putting another cardio session in there somewhere. burn the fat baby, burn the fat....


Posted by: Brutus_G

Good work sister katt! Sometimes you just gotta keep on plugging away even when your number dont go up. Im gonna start a serious cut in a month and a half.

Nice rack pulls. I tried that Ms Dash stuff before, it had no taste


Posted by: SamEaston

Hey hey!

Incredible Rack Pulls Katt - bloody hell, especially followed by Shrugs - WOW!

I like Racks alot, using the higher weights with the bar gives me a chance to work on my grip too. Good stuff.

How's the cut going? All that extra cardio must be making you one happy chappie


Posted by: katt

Thanks Sam & JH

The cuts going pretty well.. it's just a long process, or seems to be sometimes.

The rack pulls plus the shrugs did a number on my grip.. I was barely able to hold on to any db's after that.. lol

rack pulls? is that like a a lat pull/row exercise?

I think that's what they call the snatch, usually followed with a clean and jerk.

We did one plank as we were waiting for the machine become free
1 @ 85 seconds.. lol


Tonight is spinning again.. I was trying to research on here whether or not it would start to burn my muscle mass.. I only saw a post from a couple years ago from Pfunk saying that if you left 20-30 minutes into the class you should be fine... I would feel a little weird leaving the class when everyone is pedaling there asses off...

Posted by: PreMier

why not drink a blend protein 30mins before the workout.. something with casein in it? heck, what i would do is sip on some BCAA's while in the spin class. xtreme formulations makes a good one called ice. its fruity/light compared to protein, and will prevent muscle breakdown

Another good idea, thanks premier. I'll have to look into "ice"..

I ditched spinning for tonight - legs tomorrow.. I almost fell asleep at my desk today I was so tired.. lack of carbs for the week really does me in - I need a refeed


Posted by: b_reed23

I think some bcaa during the workout may be better...maybe a small protein shake 30m before class??

I feel like you this morning.

After laying in bed for 2-3 hours after I got up to urinate, I decided I'd make an early appearance at the gym. Ha.

Legs today - We changed it a little. The last workout really didn't feel like I got the most "pow" for the time.

Front Squats
wu w/bar - 1x10 (75) 1x10 (85) 1x10 (95) 1x5...I got to the fifth one and it was like I just couldn't do any more..

V Squat machine
(144) 1x10 (164) 1x10 (194) 1x10

Tri Set
LF Leg Extensions/Leg Curl/ Seated Calf Raises

(150) 1x10/(65) 1x10 / (45) 1x15
(160) 1x10/ (75) 1x10 / (45) 1x15
(180) 1x10/ (80) 1x10 / (45) 1x15

Holy shit,, I had to take a breather between sets, I was getting dizzy.. I think I need to breathe more..

No Ham/Glute raises - we ran out of time.

Cals today 1554 - still low 45/32/19

Another SOLID w/o Sister Katt!!!


Posted by: SamEaston

Dearie me - look at that tri-set!! Im guessing that was an attempt to save time? No wonder you were dead afterwards.

Oh, and what's a V-bar Squat? I hope it's some kind of machine because that weight would crush me


Posted by: katt

Its a V squat machine Sam.. your shoulders are under pads and the platform that your feet are on are slightly angeled and in front of you. I'll try to find a picture..

Today was spinning - and I LOVED the instructor today,, we were up & down, the music was blaring and it was awesome.. I've actually never sweated that much in an hour in my entire life.. I put Cell Mass in my water bottle and it seemed to work well


Posted by: katt

didn't see this one yesterday. great stuff katt, killer tri-set

funny you say you need to breathe more, but you'd be surprised at the amount of people who don't know the proper way to breath when lifting. I am not saying you do it wrong, it just made me think of a time when I was spotting a buddy of mine on the bench press and he was going for 6 or 8 reps, I don't remember, but the whole time he held his breath and was so red in the face. people underestimate that.


Posted by: soxmuscle

Breathing is one of the hardest parts. If I don't focus on it (i.e: a heavy set), I really don't breath much either. Sometimes when I'm deadlifting really heavy, I'll pull it up and set it down and feel not only dizzy but all around woozy..

LOL i get like that on deadlifts no matter what sox.


Posted by: SamEaston

Cool machine - never seen one of those before.

Spinning sounds cool. Im getting a bit lazy on the cardio front, it's time i kicked my ass back into gear They hold circuit training classes at my gym and i looked in on one last week, looks brutal. Maybe i'll give that a shot. Going in prepared with a secret mixture in my water bottle sounds like a plan too!


Posted by: Archangel

Hope all is well Sister Katt!!!

Well done on the spinning katt, that shit is brutal. And, damn sneaky idea adding creatine to your 'refreshment', good idea.
